Uh, do you happen to have a list of the 62 specialties they might be looking at?

[ewing]

Especially in the computer field?

[familyofman]

Well this is one way to avoid increasing malpractice premiums for those in the medical field. Rather inventive I must say, outsourcing doctors & nurses now.

[Bluntpoint]

For every doctor they draft the American Bar Assoc. will demand they draft 10 lawyers to every one doctor to keep the ratio up for military medical malpractice cases.

[PISANO]

Get ready CANADA, you are about to experience an INFLUX of immigrants from the US Medical community.

casualties from a large-scale biological or chemical attack.

My first thought was not for military, but for civilians. SARS will be back in the fall......

[Doctor Stochastic]

Maybe Health Care Professionals could be drafted to fight the War on Poverty, too.

Just because there is a plan doesn't mean that it will be implemented. We probably even have an invasion plan for England...

Going through different scenarios, no matter how unlikely, is good practice. I wish someone would have had a better plan for action before the towers were hit. A lot of critical mistakes were made immediately after which could and should have been avoided.

Any talk of conscription brings to mind an old saying. To paraphrase, "A country worth fighting for doesn't have to force its citizens to fight".

[HIDEK6]

Are they going to restrict the sex they draft to male?

[LibWhacker]

I predict there will be a huge surge in the number of residents going into gerontology.

[Mike Darancette]

They should draft trial lawyers.

[Mamzelle]

Does this imply that health care personnel are indespensible, or something? Maybe they should be drafting lawyers--aren't they the ones who are always looking out for us?

Huh. Before you start selective service, better cough up some serious tort reform...

[SC DOC]

Come next February, I'll be home free (age 56). Besides I did my nine years of active duty and when I got out I took an unqualified resignation, so my name would be at the bottom of such a list, in case of a draft.
